Thank you and good luck!

10)  A newbie uses a curse word on the shoutbox, but you are not sure if they have read the rules yet.  What should you do?

11)  A user is repeatedly asking how to dress their Human Avatar, despite having been told how several times already.  The other users in the shoutbox are starting to get annoyed, and the situation is becoming dramatic.  What should you do?

12)  A user comes on the shoutbox and starts telling everyone to 'shut up'; that they 'hate everyone'; and they 'are all stupid' and then starts spamming the shoutbox with '!!!!'s.  What should you do?

13)  Which of the following messages are considered spamming?  Please put spam/not spam next to each example, and explain why it is or isn't spam.

14)  A user says a curse word on the shoutbox, and a non-staff member warns them that they could be banned for using that type of language before you can say anything. Prior to this, you have only been lurking in the chat and not participating in conversation. What should you do?

15)  A user on the shoutbox is speaking in a language other than English.  After letting them know that only English may be used on the site's public areas, the user finds a way to let you know they do not speak English, and continues in the foreign language. List the possible ways you would deal with this situation.

16)  A staff member from the writing department has just issued a 3-day shoutbox ban to a user who was posting smilies too often.  The user had never been warned for this before, and you consider the ban to be unfair.  What should you do?

17)  You see that another staff member is advertising too often.  What should you do?

18)   It is your first day on the job as moderator, and a user you CANNOT STAND posts a message that is borderline spam; you aren't quite sure. What do you do?
